    Poetic Hafla is an event series that focusses on presenting middle
    eastern/mediterranian artists based in Berlin.

    The main aspect of the Poetic Hafla is creating a place to experiment and to share ideas. For this many artistic forms of expression are combined: readings, music, stand-up comedy, and performances.

    The organisers say about themselves and their artists: "We are
    Mediterranian - a sea!", referring to the diversity of backgrounds,
    expressions, aesthetics and contributions. The event series shows the
    liveliness of Middle Eastern culture and the importance of Berlin as a
    cultural hub and home of the many. The Poetic Hafla provides a
    safe/brave space that is all about listening, embracing, sharing,
    appreciating each other and coming together.

    Poetic Hafla was founded in 2015 by Barack Moyal and Mati Shemoelof,
    two Israeli/German artists and authors who live in Berlin. Poetic Hafla
    is held mostly in English, Arabic and Hebrew.
